Red Alert 2: Intelligence Tech (v1.5) file

---

The name for the mod comes from one particular reason - functionalities of the Spy unit in the game are so much restricted. In the real world when Spy is infiltrated somewhere he will steal plans, maps, projects, ideas and other interesting materials from that place. In the game infiltrated spy will give the player just Chrono Ivan, Chrono Commando or PSI Commando. This is so unrealistic.

So, what is included in this mod?

- All sides by default have the following structures:

-Barricades; road signs; prison fence; sandbags and gates

(included in combat section).

- All sides by default have following units:

- Spy; Medic; Stealth Mobile Generator; Paradrop Plane;

Repair Ship;

- Spy Submarine with powerful sensors to reveal all

submarines, giant squids or dolphins on the battlefield.

- [v1.5] Airfield Excavator – which deploys into Airfield

anywhere on the map.

- All sides with capturing of Tech Hospital will get:

- [v1.5] Medic Rocketeer

- All sides with capturing of Tech Airport will get:

- Carryall: can transport vehicles around the map

- Light Transport: passengers can also shoot out

- Heavy Transport

- Yuri can not mind control Cyborg's units.

2.) Super Defense:

- Armory requires already built Weather Control.

- Psychic Beacon (Yuri’s and Soviet’s versions). To be able to build Psychic Beacon for Yuri side you must have turned on ‘Superweapons’, and already have built Psychic Dominator, in other hand for the Soviet side you must have Yuri's Stolen Technology (infiltrated spy in Yuri's Battle Lab) and have already built Nuclear Missile Silo.

- ‘Superweapons’ from ‘Skirmish’ screen ware renamed to ‘WMD & Defenses’.

3.) What can be captured?

4.) Global changes:

Beside from Battle Fortress, now passengers can also shoot

out of:

Floating Disk, Night Hawk, Light Transport.

- Landing Craft, Armored Transport and Hover Transport now are built from weapon factories instead of Shipyards.

- Almost every vehicle now can transport 2 infantries.

- Almost none of the buildings leaves rubbles after its destruction.

Different paradrops for each side:

Allied:

1 x Allied Medic

1 x Spy

1 x British Sniper

5 x GI

Soviet:

1 x Soviet Medic

1 x Spy

1 x Natasha Volkova

7 x Conscripts

Yuri:

1 x Yuri’s Medic

1 x Spy (paradrop mode added)

4 x Initiate

5.) About bridges:

- Bridge repair huts now can be destroyed, so the opposite side player will not be able to repair the destroyed bridge, after that.

- SEALs and Tanya can still normally destroy the bridges, and also engineers can still normally repair the bridges.

- Crazy Ivan's bomb will destroy the bridge, but will also damage the 'Bridge repair hut'. However damaged 'Bridge repair hut’ itself can’t be repaired, which is not problem till the gameplay.

P.S. Many new mods implement too many new units and structures which knows usually to be complicated for playing because the duration of the match itself is not too long to build and use every each of them into it.
